Hyacinths.
Hyacinths are among the most esteemed and universally grown of all bulbous plants,
and they well-deserve the honor. Their pretty spikes of flowers, varying through all
shades of red, rose, purple, blue and yellow to white, are among the earliest and most
beautiful flowers of early ispring-time, and by forcing and careful management in keeping
a succession Hyacinths may be had in bloom nearly all winter and up to the end of May.

Narcissus or Daffodils.
“Whoever has two loaves of bread, let him trade one for a blossom of
Narcissus, for bread is nourishment to the body, but the Narcissus is food for
the soul.” — Mohammed.
The Narcissus in some of its species is a well-known and long-esteemed flower,
being mentioned in Homer and in Sophocles, and one variety has been cultivated by
the Chinese for thousands of years. During the last few years the flowers, as a class,
have been rising in popular estimation, and growers have produced an almost endless
list of varieties and hybrids. We offer only the best sorts.

They are peculiarly graceful in habit, possess striking combinations of color, and are
especially suited for planting among low shrubbery or herbaceous plants, such as
peonies, azaleas, etc. Some species bloom in May, while others are in flower in late
autumn.

Grass and Clover Seeds.
’We beg to draw the special attention of our patrons to the Universal Lawn Grass
Seed Mixture, which is prepared to give the best results for fine lawns; also to the
cheap Pasture Grass Mixture for meadows. We would also be happy to supply grass
and clover seed separate, if desired.
MANDA’S UNIVERSAL LAWN SEED MIXTURE.
This Lawn Grass Mixture is composed entirely of the finest quality of fine-leaved,
dwarf-growing grasses, in such proportions as will enable it to withstand the extreme
heat of our summers. The grasses which compose this mixture are extra well cleaned,
so that all weeds are excluded, leaving nothing but the pure, clean seed.
8
W. A. MANDA, INC., SOUTH ORANGE, N. J.
We recommend four bushels to the acre. It is necessary to sow the seed very
thickly to get the most pleasing result — that is a good lawn.
The best time to sow grass seed is in the spring or about the latter part of August.
We prefer the spring. The success of establishing a good lawn depends much on the
season and the condition of the ground at the time of sowing. A light raking in will
protect the seeds greatly. Rolling, however, is at all times indispensable, and should
any weeds appear they should be eradicated.
MANDA’S UNIVERSAL MIXTURE IS AS GOOD AS ANY AND BETTER
THAN MANY.

Buxus Suffruticosa (The Dwarf or English Box)
This variety is generally used for edging flower beds or walks, or for geometrical
outline. It is of very slow growth and stays small and dwarf for years and years. How-
ever, if allowed to grow from fifty to two hundred years, it forms a grand bush, giving
unusual tone to the garden not only as to beauty, but giving the whole surroundings age
and finish. The large specimens are very scarce, and where a few of these could be used
it certainly will make an effect not obtainable by any other plants.
